Local Intelligence

We are pained to announce the death of Mrs. Grimmer, wife of our esteemed fellow
citizen, Erasmus M. Grimmer, which sad event occurred at the home of her husband
in the northern part of the county on Friday morning last, after an illness of
several months duration of that dread disease consumption.  To friend Grimmer
and his greatly afflicted little ones we tender sympathy.

Mrs. E.M. Grimmer, also died Friday morning the 3rd inst., was buried the 4th in
the cemetery at Mt. Paron.  She left ten children, the oldest of which was only
fourteen years of age and eight of them are under ten years of age.  Five of
them are her own children and five are the children of Mr. Grimmer’s two
previous companions.

We can only say to the bereaved husband and little ones, follow in the
footprints of her, who was always a loving wife, devoted mother; every striving
to banish all trouble and to make home happy.

To the numerous relatives and friends, I would say, let us endeavor to help them
bear their grief, and encourage them to always tend toward that land of bliss,
where she now rests and waits their arrival.  She is now in that peaceful home
of which she spoke before she went away.  She wished for the time to come when
she would be freed from the troubles and afflictions of this world, and said she
was prepared and ready to go.  Truly she is gone where consumption cannot go.
